Why 802.11use acknowledgements but not in wired ethernet?
[Edit]

Answer

It's a matter of trust. If you properly wired your network, then all ethernet connectors should be available only to those who you trust on your network (albeit to some extent at least). Also packets do not get easily lost when they travel through wired ethernet. But in wireless enviroments this two subjects are not so.

Please refer to further reading of proper bibliography and question your lecturers about this subject, since this is a question that can easily be answered by them.
